Food Addiction Support Group

An individual suffering from a food addiction disorder frequently experiences episodes of uncontrolled eating, or binging, during which they may feel frenzied or out of control. They will eat much more quickly than is normal, and continue to eat even past the point of being uncomfortably full. Binging in this way is generally followed by a period of intense guilt feelings...

Not hungry, YET EAT???

Why is it that I continue to eat when I'm not hungry. I even eat when I'm full & I actually think about how disgusting it is to just keep eating BUT at the same time, continue to stuff my face. How does that make any sense? Just when you think it's over, I get up & see what else I can shove in my mouth. What is it with feeling like I constantly need to eat? Does anyone else do this?

Oh yes. I've eaten until I throw up. Waited an hour, then eat again. That is the nature of food addiction/compulsive eating. I just finished reading Overcoming Overeating. It's been around for years but was recently re-released with a new intro. I highly recommend it. Even if you don't follow their plan to break free from overeating (it basically tells you no more dieting, legallize all food and eventually relearn what hunger is, then only eat when hungry---very hard but it is getting you to eat normally) it does give good insight to why we compulsive eat. I cried when reading it because it was me. I thought I was so abnormal and weird but my experiences were on the pages.

You are not alone. I was on vacation this weekend and perhaps b/c it was my first fun girls weekend vacation without smoking, I basically ate the entire weekend. I didn't feel hungry once. I had a stomach ache the WHOLE time and I continued to eat. Today was detox day one -- but I there is no undoing what I did for five days in one day. Uh. So so frustrating. I was feeling so skinny before I left too. ANyway, back on the wagon for as long as I can stay!
